Described here are methods, devices, and kits for treating a prolapsed
valve leaflet. The devices generally comprise a flexible cord, a first
anchor attached to the cord at its distal end, and a second anchor
slidably attached to the cord. The first anchor may be configured to
secure the cord to cardiac tissue located below a prolapsed valve leaflet
and the second anchor may be configured to secure into the prolapsed
valve leaflet. Also described are methods for treating a prolapsed valve
including the steps of securing a first anchor to cardiac tissue located
below the prolapsed mitral valve leaflet, securing a second anchor to the
prolapsed mitral valve leaflet, tensioning a cord connecting the two
anchors and securing the cord. Kits including the described devices are
also provided.
